Online, offline: what's the difference?

OK, I just finished making a post when I noticed down in the right hand corner a message saying I offline and if I want to go online. I click it and I see who on my friends list in online.

I just want to make sure it is absolutely clear to me so I don't make a fatal error and kill a patient. I sometimes wish I were...

5 days ago I called a so called confidential Chat line. Obviously I was under emotional pressure and just wanted someone to listen and talk to. Well, the police, basically a swat team, arrived at my front door, in front of my neighbors, and "Baker acted" me. Now I'm just humiliated and degraded on top of everything else.
